67 GTA clone information

They are fairly easy to forge, assuming you have an S/K/A code (recent information indicates that C-codes also qualify). The only real tricky part is the foglight wiring and the way it routes through the radiator support, apparently the repro stuff is done differently. I'd check with the MCA for details on that, this forum is geared much more heavily to the restomod crowd.
There's some data at http://www.1967mustang.com
But basically all you needed was a V8 and the "GT-equipment group" with a C4/C6 to make it a GTA.

The Marti report for a 67 would give it away, though.
I'm assuming you just want info for where the stripes are, the pins are and such. There was a good article in Mustang Monthly that gives some good info on where the side letters/emblems. As far as the stripes, you can buy them as decals from most Mustang suppliers and fit them before permanently adhering them. The stripes could come with the rocker mouldings unlike the previous years. You will need a different rear valence with dual exhaust cutouts at the base and quad tips if you are trying to replicate an S-code, A or K GTA (I think you could get an auto with the K that year, but few K codes were sold and most were fastbacks and 4 speeds). The foglights and corral are also unique to that year. As far as a book, the one by Tom Corcoran on Amazon or your local book shop (?) is a great one for giving illustrations and other things on the GT and GTA.
Summary: the GT equipment group (fog lamps. power front disc brakes, dual exhausts with chrome quad tips (excluded on the 200 hp 289), GT gas cap, the handling package with the stiffer springs and larger swaybar, rocker panel stripes and GTA emblems are all available from NPD and other vendors.
The power steering is the same for the "plain" cars and the GTAs, but if you have manual steering, you will need the 16:1 box to be "correct". You can also add other exterior items like the turn signal hood and styled steel wheels to give it a bit more sporty flair. 
It really depends how close of a clone you want to make to what items you add.

Good post BIAF...excellent actually....
But I do not beleive the handling package was mandatory on a GT/GTA, nor that a C4 was even available with the K-code. They only sold a few hundred K's in '67 anyway, since the S-code debuted that year. And you are right, Marti and the intardnet has rendered many a forgery to be false since the good'ole days

Thanks for all the excellent info. That was exactly what I was looking for. I will check into that book as well. It doesnt sound like I have much to change/add to my coupe as it already has: 200hp 289, C4, AC, PS, power discs(although they were extracted from a 71 mustang). If I go this route I will likely just go for the stripes/molding, gas cap, fog lights and dual exahust.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
BIAF... Great abbreviation of my name.
Haven't heard that before, but I kind of like it.I'm not sure what all was available since you could order pretty much anything for the 67s and the actual GT concept was watered down a bit. The 2 barrel was even available. :o
